I've got to say - I personally don't like the long 'stretched' style ribs, its like the manufacture has taken a 6/7m boat and cut and shut a middle section in making them a 9-10m boat, but they look like a pencil and have no beam, you see it with a few brands. I guess its cheaper to make than a scaled-up hull, width and length increasing proportionality, but cheaper isn't always better - just my humble opinion
